How to say "stand" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- 立つたつgodan verb, intransitive verbThe verb for standing up: rising or getting to one's feet. It also describes hairs standing on end, and is not the word for a support, a stall, or enduring something.
- 台だいnoun, noun (suffix)A noun for a physical stand, rest, base, or pedestal: the object that something rests on. Use this when 'stand' means the supporting object itself rather than the act of standing.

Use 「立つ」 for the act of standing up, 台 for a physical stand or pedestal, 「耐える」 for standing something in the sense of enduring it, 売店 for a stall or kiosk, and 「マウント」 for mounts and fixtures.
